This walk-behind mower operates by pressing the primer bulb three times before pulling the starter cord. The front-wheel drive system is activated by engaging the drive control lever. The mower's engine speed is pre-set and non-adjustable, with the blade engaging when the engine is running. Users can adjust the cutting height using the lever on each wheel.
